strength...??

i was praying a little bit moments ago & i read in the bible in psalm 99 and it was powerful. strength and love comes together. in fact, in as much as faith and works are inseparable, i think strength and love are too.
strength is love. love is strength. our God is the Lord of Host. a warrior. the reigning God. the bible says he dwells between the cherubim.
and the people tremble and the earth moves because of our God in strength. He is high above all the people & that includes you and me.
the powerful part comes when the bible says that 'the King's strength also loves justice' His strength loves justice. it makes no sense man... but now it does... before no.. but now yes.
i don't know what this is to you but to me i know i serve a reigning God. all powerful, all great, all awesome and magnificent. yet at the same time a loving God who is close, immanuel God who is with us.
one thing i've learnt is that my God is strong with me because strength is love. the King's strength also loves justice & He loves a million more things. He operates in His strength. He reigns in His strength & that is awesome to me.
to be loved is to be strengthen. and how to be strengthen you can do the mathematics and derive yourself the answer. you will get stuff plucked out of your life to be strengthen... ironed out... whatever... love is strength.
so now it leaves me in a dilemma when i see people not being able to take love. and when i say love, i mean strength! argh... it irritates me... you even learnt in follow up that STRONG love....... strength is love!!!
why do people reject love? i guess that leaves it pretty simple, just my thoughts - they refuse to be strengthen. therefore they only spiral down, stay in limbo... whatever they end up at.
when someone cuddles you all up that is good, sometimes... but strength is love. reject one strengthening opportunity, you are rejecting the love.
so what is it? pride? insecurity? maybe just pride... i don't know, we all derive answers for ourselves.
God has established equity. He has executed justice and righteousness. we worship at His footstool.
the same power that conquered the grave lives in me. the same love that rescued the earth lives in me. power (strength) is very much inseparable from love.
be em-POWERED today....
